> Also it can't be denied that vim is the hipster editor, used by the same kind of people that use reddit

/r/vim subscribers: 54,406

/r/emacs subscribers: 22,701

If anything it seems like emacs users are over represented on reddit :)

Or maybe vim is massively over represented in those other polls. Lots of people claim to use it. Few customise and really live with it and thus are not likely to subscribe to a subreddit about it. I know "vim users" that actually use pycharm with vim keybindings if you actually watch them. If that's OK then everyone who uses default readline bindings is an emacs user.
